Day 4: I am thankful for modern appliances that help me improve my kitchen skills but most importantly allow me to make healthy food for my little ones. I’ve mentioned before how a lot (if not most) Italian moms make their own baby food and I have very happily hopped on that wagon. I never … More 30 days of Thanks: Day 4
Sundays at our house are about one thing: RELAXING! This past Sunday we decided to have a relaxing lunch on the balcony. Unfortunately, our flowers all died this summer but we still have a great view! I love days/meals like this. Simple. Relaxing. Delicious. It really doesn’t get much better than this!
Anytime I meet up with a Torinese, I always ask the same question. What is your favorite restaurant? The answers vary but lately, I’m getting the same one over and over again. M**BUN has been the jewel of Rivoli and now a location has opened in Turin. Everyone was raving about it SO of course we … More M**BUN
Well, we did it! We I successfully planned and executed a First Birthday Party! I had so much fun making decorations and trying to figure out what kinda of party I wanted VJ to have. A few months ago, I wrote about the dilemma I had about having a birthday party. I also linked to … More Valentina’s 1st Birthday Party!
The great thing about wandering around the city is that you get to stumble upon places that you’ve never heard. One Sunday afternoon, we took a stroll in the city and came across a small Burger Joint. We thought it was interesting and quickly went in to get some information.

Now that Valentina is completely off the baby food, except for some fruits/snacks, I have sometime to reflect on her experience… or should I say MY experience with Italian baby food. I never actually noticed baby food until V was nearing 4 months. Since I was nursing her, I only worried about diapers, wipes and … More Baby food… Italian Style
March 2nd was Texas Independence Day which marks the day Texas signed it’s declaration, freeing them from the control of Mexico. We Texans are a proud bunch.. incase you didn’t know. The best way to celebrate in true Texas style would be to have some seriously good barbecue. I had planned to make a really … More Texas Independence Day
Today’s Sunday meal was a quick and easy favorite. Since we had a big day ahead, we wanted something that didn’t take a lot of prep work. So we settled for: “Da Bomb” Sandwiches. I remember the first time I made these for Carlo he liked them so much that he just kept calling them … More The Sunday Meal
… that wasn’t on Sunday. We had a last minute invitation to have Sunday lunch with one of Carlo’s aunts so had to move our meal to today. Unfortunately, the weather was absolutely yucky considering that Sunday was really nice so, our menu seems a little off…. but it was still very tasty! Saturday night, … More The Sunday Meal
Since we decided to go out for dinner on Saturday night, SOMEONE (Carlo) wanted to have a “light” meal on Sunday. So, did we have salad? white rice or white pasta? NO… Pizza & potato chips… Can someone please tell me what is “light” about that?!?!
